I kind of liked this photo as it's hard to know what's going on. It looks like the bear is being knocked over by the car but why all the colored chairs placed in front of a bear? Answer, Bare Naked Furniture. But any passer by who just glimpsed at this scene must have thought 'WTF?'

I suspect this beautiful old house is slated for demolition before too long. It's surrounded by a mass of cheap new housing that will somehow consider this to be the eye sore and want it removed. I hope someone can restore it. I noticed a juvenile turkey vulture on the roof, grooming himself, blissfully ignorant of the chaos surrounding him.

Red Truck Bakery from Warrenton is moving its headquarters to bigger premises in Marshall in Old Salem Cafe's building. They hope to open in September so I'm looking forward to see if they'll produce organic products.

The old Post Office building in Marshall has been renovated for the imminent return of The Whole Ox, a butchers shop. There was a tiny piece of paper in the window telling of a super secret get together on 5/30, so secret that I missed it.

I attended a bee keeping class tonight in Warrenton. Apparently there isn't a shortage of bees as the media implies but there has been a reduction in bumble bees. There are many other bee species, most of them ground dwellers. I'm not sure if I want to take this route as pests and disease can be time consuming to keep at bay, the loss of a hive would upset me, but I'm going to research some more.
